Die Antwoord - Evil Boy

After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

Maybe it was just me, but did anyone else find that creepy chick oddly arousing. She's not attractive in any sense of the word, but you know you would fuck her at least once since you know that she would do something unusual, something either insanely pleasurable or painful, but most likely both, and most likely, would never do again.

So, the story behind this video and song (or part of the story -- there's so much going on!) is that Wanga felt that he was being coerced into a form of ritual circumcision by his community. It's sort of taken for granted within his ethnic group that you must do this, so much so that if you are a young man and you do not participate, you are ostracized, as the band explained to me.

The thinking, and this is communicated very directly to the young men, is that if you don't participate, you're gay. You're effeminate. You're not a real man. You never mature from being a boy to being a man.

He struggled with all of this in real life: with what it meant for his personal and cultural identity. And he came to a point where he was like, you know what? Fuck you all. The fact that I won't consent to having my penis sliced with an unsterilized knife, out in the bush, and risk infection or worse-- that doesn't mean "I'm gay," as you say. I reject this tradition. If that's what being a man is, fuck it, I don't want to be a man. I'll be an "evil boy for life," even if it means I am ostracized from my community.

You might have chosen different lyrics, but dude, it's not our story or our culture or our world experience at all.

I've heard men say that about that girl before and I just do not see it. I'm not a man, though.

I heard these guys for the first time last month...I'm really not a fan but I dunno to each it's own. They're actually playing here in DC at the end of October...my buddy really wants me to come with him to see the show...don't know how into it I would be though...
